Abstract (en)

[origin: US5619392A] In a busbar protection method and a corresponding device, the maximum values of the currents in the outgoers are determined. The maximum values Ikmax of the current characteristics are extended by a certain hold time th. Subsequently, these current characteristics are processed further vectorially. With the aid of these current characteristics +E,uns Ik+EE changed in such a way, a fault signal is calculated by means of a protection algorithm, preferably the current comparison method with current stabilization or the phase comparison algorithm. It can be uniquely determined on the basis of the extension of the maximum according to the invention whether an external fault or an internal one is concerned. The advantage of the method and of the device according to the invention resides, in particular, in that the localization of the fault is possible in a reliable fashion even in the case of strong saturation of the current transformers. Above all, false tripping can be reliably avoided even in the case of external faults.
